https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saT9brZ2RoI Byzantine History (
  Greek and Russian ) from an Eastern Orthodox Christian
  perspective - in 16 seconds THANK YOU Vasos Panagiotopoulos!
  Full clips of his marvelous Byzantine history notes are at:
  [1]http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/byzhst.txt == Vasos - *this* is a
  work of beauty and thoroughness. I rarely read start to finish
  but I skip around 'til things "jump out" at me and that's when I
  start. These clips are perfect for that. I skip past the past I
  either know or aren't interesting at the moment, and after a
  little bit of scrolling, some words pop out at me and I start
  reading from there. [wait - I repeated myself tongue emoticon ]
  Anyway, thank you for the resource you put together there.
  Brilliance. Your labor is edification. Thank you smile emoticon
  == Oh your timeline at the bottom! Oh the inner historian in me
  is fangirling with glee. [yeah, I'm a history nerd]. I'm
  printing your timeline out on my laser printer for safe-keeping.
  there's a huge "education gap" regarding Greece/Russian history
  (Byzantine is the right word for it - I'll start using that) and
  I find myself sometimes in history battles with people who have
  never learned anything but what the BBC (or BBC derived - aka
  American) history regarding anything before Galileo... and I
  find myself batting my head against the wall. How do you explain
  to people just how thready their grasp on the fullness of
  history is? They see islands of events dotted through history
  that only matter because they serve a cause: promotion of
  Science, promotion of some value or another like Western
  Philosophy... ..but they miss _so much_... I'll never get the
  fullness I want of historical knowledge but I can at least take
  the little I know and try to fill in other people's histories...
  to start to see the timeline of human history not as little
  islands of this and that, but as whole movements of information,
  culture and knowledge, spanning thousands of years. That moment
  when you can put yourself in ancient Greece, or wonder what's
  going on at the 1st Ecumenical Council that people have been
  whispering about as it happens... or imagine life under
  Justinian or being there as Constanople fell... or what it
  must've been like to be an early Russian learning Greek and
  watching language transform over time into its own unique
  expression... .. it's just a marvelous feeling. One becomes an
  inhabitant of all time to some degree, as if having lived for
  thousands of years but with a few gaps in memory. === but I was
  so impressed by the level of detail (which will take me a long
  time to go through to fill in my knowledge gaps, which are many)
  - that I took the items from your Timeline and made a very fast
  flashcard style for Youtube and an even faster one on Vine
  (which is limited to 6.8 seconds) and set it to a nice portion
  of a Byzantine music I found there. On each of the services,
  pausing is very easy (especially Vine). I have 12,000 followers
  on Vine and if even _one_ person gets the spark of curiosity
  about Byzantine history, Greece, Russian, Eastern Orthodoxy...
  or if nothing else, the seed of a notion in their minds that
  _maybe_ there's a lot more to history than they're learning (or
  learned) in school and start exploring history more throughout
  their lives, then I feel a good thing was done. I've had my
  interest sparked by the strangest things through the years - a
  few well placed words here, an image there... _something_ just
  starts churning in the back of my mind and before I know it, I'm
  interested for life. Thank you again for your clips and the
  timeline. The sci-fi part of my brain wishes for a "plug" that
  could just absorb knowledge quickly but it's never that easy.
  Still, the hope remains, like the child that stares at a
  textbook wishing the understanding would just "click in"... and
  oddly enough, sometimes it does. In any case, thank you for
  sharing. I'm sharing some of your tremendous collection with
  others and maybe they'll get a spark of interest as well that
  leads to greater and greater things in their lives. One never
  knows. [2]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saT9brZ2RoI
